Churnspire Adjutor
Overview
The Churnspire Adjutor is an Urizen Imperial title commissioned during the Spring Equinox 384YE. The initial plans for the Churnspire were provided by Megaris of Glowspire.
Responsibilities
The Churnspire Adjutor has no particular responsibilities; they simply receive a set of regalia each year, and a bounty of golden apples each season from Meraud. If the Churnspire were to be threatened in any way, it would be the responsibility of the Adjutor to deal with those threats.
Powers

Appointment
The Churnspire Adjutor is selected by unanimous decision of the Urizen senators during the Summer Solstice. If a unanimous decision cannot be reached, the title may be appointed by the Imperial Senate instead.
The title can be held by any Urizen citizen. They can be revoked by the General Assembly, the Urizen National Assembly, and by the Assembly of the Nine.
Churnspire
The Churnspire was built with a solid foundation of white granite, and the spire towers over the Churn, one of the most volatile geysers located in Peregro. The spire is largely dedicated to luxurious apartments for the Adjutor with art depicting a great tower looming over a shrouded lake common throughout. A small turret projects out and overlooks the geyser. The only way to access the turret is through a corridor inlaid with mithril which glistens during the hours of twilight.
